A U.S.-based provider of secure enterprise cloud technology for national security agencies, defense, and regulated industry customers, is hiring a Site Reliability Engineer on a contract basis. This role is fully remote within the U.S., with East Coast hours preferred. You will keep a large AWS environment healthy and automated using Terraform, Jenkins, Ansible, and Kubernetes.
This is a chance to work inside a security model most cloud teams never get to see. You will join a compact, senior SRE team supporting a cloud analytics platform, where infrastructure ownership is real and not split across a dozen layers. They want someone who loves automation, builds self-healing systems so problems fix themselves, and is excited to experiment with AI agents and AI-assisted tooling. Over time the team will extend support into a neighboring HCM environment, so there is natural room for your scope to grow.
Contract Duration: 6 - 12 Months
